NC teachers call for May 1 school closing


If you know history, what does this sound like?

“Solidarity Request!!! PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!!!
“Hey educator union fam:
“I'm writing this because our squad in North Carolina is calling for a statewide day of action on May 1st around the following 5 demands. Last year, we shut down 42 school systems, put 30,000 people in the streets, defeated fear and hopelessness among our colleagues, and unseated the privatizer supermajorities in both houses of our state legislature. We've been building stronger and stronger and now we're pushing for another big day in the streets.” – Somebody named Bryan Proffitt.

“…day of action…” “5 demands…”

If only Proffitt had included some wreckers in that “call for action,” his writing would sound even more like a Stalinist demand from the 1930s.

The teachers should have their “day of action,” of course, because…kids. And the Future.
